User invitation: use my existing ESL account

If you are an existing ESL user and you have received an ESL invitation, then you can link your invitation to your existing user account by following the steps outlined in this section User invitation - use my existing ESL account.

If you already use an ESL account and you need access on behalf of an organisation, then the organisation’s ESL DA can send you an invite e-mail.

In all other cases, a user will usually fill out an ESL Form and then access is granted by the Ministry of Education with an invite email being sent.

Receive e-mail invitation

Your DA or the Education Service Desk will send an email invitation for you.
